Tuner card replacement

[ghamer3545]

I replaced a flaky AverMedia 188 Duet tuner card with an identical card in a Windows 7 Media Center PC. When I booted the PC, it found new hardware and installed the card with the correct driver. I did not run Media Center setup. Media Center is apparently still showing the old tuner(s) on the channel Edit Source screen and does not recognize the new tuner(s). Is there any way to associate the new tuner with Media Center without running setup?

It sounds like you have to run TV set up. Your recording schedule will stick but you will need to edit your channel line up, which I'm sure you're trying to avoid.

If that is all that he is avoiding than http://1geek1tool.com/guidetool/

That should remedy the issue. You are right though, rerun the signal input and then a quick reload of a saved tuner configuration and he should be back in business (although there may need to be some tweaks to the recorded show channel settings as depending on what they were previously set at to use they may do their own oddities...)

Thanks for the help. The editing was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Guidetool made the process much easier.
